Adrian the Giant


Everyone's first reaction to meeting Adrian is typically, "Wow, what a big baby." Usually followed with, "How old is he again?" and then after a couple seconds ... "Are you sure?"

As if we somehow forgot when our first and only child was born.

Even strangers have been making comments. Getting us kinda paranoid we've spawned some sort of circus side show oddity. Minus the extra appendage and the ability to swallow knives.

The truth is, we don't really know what we've got on our hands.

Kate was adopted, so her genetics are a bit of a wild card. We have no idea if her birth mom had to duck when she walked into rooms. Or even if her birth dad was the kind of guy you'd avoid sitting behind at the movie theater.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Although I've pretty much resigned to the fact that we're gonna have to watch a lot of high school basketball games. And most likely spend a lot of time in the freak tent at the county fair.
